It's just plain Fergalicious when you don't pay taxes for eight years
Fergie, lead singer of the Black Eyed Peas, was a strange choice to entertain at the White House Easter Egg Hunt. And as we reported at the time, some parents in attendance were horrified by her performance.
But now it all makes sense. Based on the following story, she must have been there interviewing for a job for a top level job with the Obama administration. Considering the state of the group’s taxes, we’d say she’s a shoe-in for a top job with Tim “Turbo Tax” Geithner:
A lawyer for the Black Eyed Peas is accusing the hip-hop supergroup’s manager of failing to file income tax returns for its touring operation going back as far as eight years, and says he is only now getting around to doing their basic accounting.
The allegations were filed Monday in Superior Court by the group’s attorney, Helen Yu, as a response to a defamation lawsuit filed against her Nov. 30 by the Peas’ manager, Sean Larkin.
Larkin admits that, “due to an inadvertent oversight,” he failed to file income tax returns for the band and some of its individual members. He claims Yu used this lapse to send out letters “filled with venomous lies and fabricated accusations . . . that he engaged in criminal conduct.”
Larkin, who owns Sherman Oaks-based Larkin Business Management, is seeking $5 million in damages.
C’mon, our tax guy won’t let us deduct a paper clip if we can’t prove it was legit. And this guy “forgot” to file the group’s taxes for eight years?
That’s just Geithnerlicious.

Somebody needs to remind The Black-Eyed Peas that paying taxes is now “patriotic.”
The person who smiles in the face of adversity has found someone else to blame. Is she an adult? Did she read her tax forms? Did she sign the tax forms? Did she enjoy the use of the extra money?
Maybe she’ll have to sell her portion of the Miami Dolphins? Rush Limbaugh may be interested in buying her out. Word is that he pays his taxes and is audited annually.
Something tells me that Fergie would’nt be any worse then many of the marxists who work in the Obama thug-minstration now.
BTW, the Black Eyed Peas may be one of the very worst musical acts to ever hit it big. If you happen to like them, God bless you, but they are absolutely lousy. Amazing what people will pay to listen to. But then again, the stuff I listen to really ain’t mainstream anyway, not here in the USA anyway.
How can an adult not ask… uhm did I pay my taxes this year? The second I got a job at 15 years old I knew I had to pay taxes… I mean really how can someone put all of that important stuff on someone else and just set it and forget it? Completely irresponsible.
